6 Nations: Focus on Wales

Wales last won the Tournament in 2013 beating England 30-3 to deny the men in white a Grand Slam. The opening game this year was a re-match but this time it was the English that triumphed.

A massive defensive effort saw them end Ireland's 10 match winning run at the weekend and means they are one of the three teams who can realistically win the Championship. It is likely to be decided on points difference this year so Wales will be looking for a big win in Rome against the Italians.
